The Intel Haswell desktop processor lineup would consist of 14 new desktop Core i7 and Core i5 chips. The Intel R-Series Haswell chips would also be available for the desktop PCs but only in BGA packages. These would be limited to NUCs and All-In-One PCs. Compared to the regular desktop parts which come with GT2 (HD 4600) graphics chip the R-Series parts would feature faster GT3e (HD 5200) graphic chips with 128 MB DDR3 onboard eDRAM. Prices for the desktop lineup were leaked yesterday which can be seen below:

There are several other chips which would be available shortly after launch including low power Core i5 and Core i3 models which are listed here. The Haswell R-Series processors are listed below, availability of these processors are expected during launch in NUCs and AIO PCs from OEM manufacturer’s.
